Persán’s Owners Acquire 40% of Río 55 Business Park in Madrid for €70M

25 June 2018 – Eje Prime

A new business saga is investing in the Spanish real estate sector. The Moya Yoldi family, owners of the detergent manufacturer Persán, have invested €70 million in the purchase of 40% of the Río 55 Business Park in Madrid. For this operation, the Andalucían family has joined forces with Inmobiliaria del Sur (Insur), the office property developer, with which it has also signed a second agreement involving a prime residential project in Marbella (Málaga).

The owners of Persán, an integrated supplier of the supermarket giant Mercadona, has increased its commitment to the real estate sector through Concha Yoldi, the co-owner of the company together with her husband, José Moya, and the couple’s children: Juan, José and Francisco Javier, according to El Confidencial.

The saga has acquired a significant stake in Río 55, which already signed the sale of one of its two buildings to the fund manager AEW Europe in March. Insur forecasts that it will hand over the keys to the first tenants of the business complex next year. The two properties will span a surface area of 14,000 m2 each.

Likewise, the Andalucían family is also going to invest in its own region in partnership with Insur. Gestafin Global Investment, another of the real estate companies owned by the Moya Yoldi family, has acquired 40% of the luxury development that the real estate firm is constructing in Marbella. In total, 53 luxury apartments will comprise this project in the sought-after Costa del Sol, whose first phase has been underway since 2017. A third plan in the Sevilla residential market, where Insur is building 238 homes, completes the alliances that the family office has with the group.

A Socimi with the owners of Silestone and the founders of Goldcar

The presence of the owners of Persán in the property sector does not end with their individual investments. The Andalucían saga also shares ownership of a Socimi with other entrepreneurial families such as the Cosentinos, owners of Silestone, and the brothers Juan and Pedro Alcaraz, founders of the vehicle renting company Goldcar, now part of the giant Europcar.

Moreover, through Trajano Iberia, of which José Moya is president, the family owners a share of the Madrilenian Alcalá Magna shopping centre, for which the company paid €100 million last year, and a second in Portugal; an office building in the Spanish capital, in the Manoteras area, to be precise; a mixed-used property, for offices and shops in Bilbao; and a logistics asset in Zaragoza (…).
